The Equestrian War
Chapter 1
A:N Before you start reading this, you should read my other story: "Dragon in the Cold" if you haven't already. This will make this story have a lot more since. I'll have at least one new chapter every day. Hope you enjoy!
2 years ago, Spike was forced to join the army that Celestia made him do, he had no choice.
Spike woke up in a blue bunk bed, the sun shining on his eyes. Celestia teleported him here 2 years ago against his will. And not just him, other ponies and races were forced to join to. He was just some of the many. Since he arrived at night, he was escorted to his cabin, and he went to bed. Then a bright white glow was in front of him. It was Princess Celestia. She teleported him into the main room Ponies were training everywhere. The walls were gray; there were punching bags, a dirty floor, wet with sweat. Everywhere colts were kicking punching bags, they were also using wood swords to fight each other in an octagon ring, with chain walls. Two white colts with leather armor were fighting for training. A gray stallion with a black mane and tail, cut in a formal manner, was instructing a group of; it seemed of random races of animals. Ponies, goats, some male dragons, but a little bit younger than Spike. Celestia pointed towards the group of people.
Spike remembered his first day at the camp like it was yesterday. "C-Celestia, why are we here?" Spike asked, he clearly did not like what he saw. Celestia explained the war crisis that was going on. His expression looked from no comfort, to fear. Celestia apologized, she once again told him to go meet up with that group over there. Then, like a blink of an eye, she disappeared. Spike was scared; he was forced against his will to fight in a civil war. It took a lot of courage to walk over to his new group leader. He squeezed in the circle surrounding the group leader; he had a gray coat and a black mane and tail. He looked at Spike and smiled, harshly.
"Well we got a new recruit here! What's yer name!" The leader yelled
"Celestia teleported to me here." Spike replied
"Well, that's what happened to all of us, except me. I heard the Call of Duty and she swept me off my feet. I am Sergeant Gray Mane. I am yer new group leader, when I'm through with you you'll be tougher than a full grown dragon!" Gray Mane said
"Anyways like I was saying you foals! That we have discovered one of Luna's camps! We will invade it in 5 days! You have that time to train with whatever you want! We will be coaching you through the entire thing, so don't thing you get off easy! Now follow me! Straight posture!" Gray Mane Yelled. He led them into a room with wood floors and cobblestone walls. There were iron and bronze weapons lined on the walls, iron armor, and different assessments of bows, spears, swords, maces, crossbows, and different element arrows. Spike stared in awe in their arsenal.
"This is your private arsenal! Your bunks are through this door! Grab weapons you want, and then put in one of these chests so you claim it as your own! Understood?" Gray Mane said yelling and pointing at the things he yelled about. We all nodded.
"You do not nod in this training camp! You say: Yes sir!" Gray Mane yelled. We all responded in yes sir! And he left the room. Everyone separated looking for the right weapon. Spike just stood there, dumbfounded.
"Hey you alright?" Someone said, Spike snapped back into reality, he looked to were the voice came from. A dragon. The dragon had dark blue scales, a strip of orange ran down his chest, his head spikes and tail spikes were orange, he had big purple eyes. He looked almost identical to Spike, except for his colors.
"Uh, yeah, I was just, thinking about my life before." Spike said
"Yeah I here ya, my name is Uther. What's yours?" Uther asked Spike
"My name is Spike." Spike replied shaking his claw.
"What did you do before, you were captured?" Uther asked
Spike sighed. "I lived with some ponies in Ponyville. The princess came and took me away. I was just starting to be happy." Spike said, he didn't really love Twilight, he liked her. But the mare he truly loved was Fluttershy; her kind heart would cheer you up on any day, her kindness healed your wounds. He loved her, simple as that.
"Oh, I was living with my parents in a cave, when Princess Bitch, used some spells out of her horn; she shot it at my parents. They denigrated instantly. I was so angry, but she just teleported me a month ago. I hate her, but I have no choice but to fight you know?" Uther said
"Yeah, I hear you out." Spike replied
"Well, I already have my gear set up, want me to help you get you fitted right?" Uther asked
"Sure, why not." Spike replied. The two friends began to look through different iron armor sets; they found the one with the right for Spike. It was a helmet; it covered most of his face, with a line of sight, about 6 inches long, and an inch thick. A red strip went down of the helmet. His chest plate was also iron acute red angles of red lines went down, pointing towards the center of his chest. He had leather pants, with iron knee pads and a chainmail cover, and plain iron boots. Spike looked great in it, now it was just time to find the right weaponry.
"Alright, so each soldier needs a sword, shield, spear and a bow. We will find the one that is most fitted to suit you." Uther said. They went through many swords, until they found the right one for Spike. A iron sword, about 32 inches long, a curved blade tip, black grip, and a circular hand protection. It was called a katana, the sharpest sword ever invented. They found an iron spear, about 10 pounds, and 50 inches long. And finally a bow, Spike got a dark wood bow, a nice think string, and a red bow grip. All of these items attached easily to his back and side. The sword went in its sheathe, the spear went cross way on his back, and his bow was strapped to his back as well. He was not quite ready for war though. He said he would catch up with Uther later, and that he needed to get some training done.
He decided he needed to learn defense. He went to the defense instructor. He had taken off his armor, he only had his weapons.
"Are you looking for defense training son?" The instructor yelled. He had a brown coat, and a white mane, and yellow eyes.
"Yes sir!" Spike replied, his posture straight, looking dead in the eyes of his instructor. The instructor started to show him some tips, blocking with a sword, put your claws together, and hold your sword in front of your chest. The instructor used all of his strength with a heavy wooden sword, Spike still held back. The blocking technique was good. He then learned how to use a bow and arrow, and he seemed a natural at it, he hit the center, or at least near the center every time! The instructor told him that bow and arrows are used for defense most of the time, on the offensive line it is not good with fights. He spent the whole day learning about the ways of defense, until he was a master at it. He went to bed that night, he was on the bottom bunk, and Uther was on the top bunk.
"Well, what did you do today?" Uther asked
"I learned defense and archery. And that's about it. What did you do?" Spike replied
"Well, I did spear throwing, it's pretty easy." Uther said. Uther quieted down, and Spike fell asleep soon after.
Still, 2 years after he left Ponyville, Spike still dreamed of all the ponies he loved, and he had flashbacks of the time when he bedded them. He felt the pleasure, rushing through his body, once more. He longed for some action; he couldn't wait when he visited his friends again. He was a different dragon now. More tough, knows how to fight, and honor, it seemed the most important thing above all. He wanted to see his pony friends again, but he learned that honor was greater. But he knew that wasn't true. He then remembered his first battle, it was easy to remember. It gave him a 3 inch scar on his cheek.
FLASHBACK
Spike and his squad were on a hill, all of them had leaves on their armor for camouflage. Uther and Spike were in the back, bows drawn. They would provide support. It was 8 versus 15. But we had the element of surprise. Their teammates surrounded the camp in other bushes, Spike saw a quick flash from a mirror, and suddenly ponies attacked. Spike and Uther stood up, and unleashed their arrows. Immediately Spike sent an arrow dead through a colts helmet, bull's-eye. Uther continued to shoot, he got 2, 4, 5, and Uther and Spike, with their claws were a natural with bows. Spike sent 7 more arrows, getting 7 more kills. Then suddenly tragic struck, Spike saw an enemy, he was going to shoot him but he was too fast. He threw a spear at Spike, the Spear connected with his face. Luckily most of his armor blocked it, but about half an inch of iron got in his body. Uther shot the colt who threw the spear, looked to his left to see Spike falling to the ground. Blood was seen, slowly dripping from his helmet,
"Spike! You alright buddy?" Uther asked worriedly
"Y-Yeah, just a scratch I'll be fine." Spike said, but it was unbelievable, a spear was sticking out of his helmet! He couldn't be okay! But he was amazed; Spike pulled the spear out of his face, stood up. He clenched the spear in his claws; he felt the dark wood trimmed, to the bloody spear tip. He saw a target, a black colt, the leader of the camp. With all the strength in his body, he through the spear at his target. The spear went through his helmet, and clean through his head, right in the eye. The leader was dead, Spike fell back.
"Told ya I'd be fine." Spike said chuckling Uther only looked at Spike dumbfounded.
"Spike, that was amazing! Your one tough dragon!" Uther said, he looked over, all of their colts had won, and the camp was destroyed. Mission success. Unfortunately they lost two colts.
"Hey I need medical assistance over here!" Uther yelled over, the medic colt galloped over. He took off Spike's helmet and applied immediate pressure. He looked at the 3 inch long cut on Spike's cheek.
"Good news, he'll live. The cut was only a half inch deep. Spike my friend, you'll most likely get a scar, now that's a good story to tell eh!" the medic said cheering Spike and Uther up. Spike started laughing, Uther did to. Their first battle was a success.
END FLASHBACK
It was the next morning; he walked out of his room, greeted by Gray Mane. He had some good news. Spike wagged his tail like he was a dog. Being in a training facility all day didn't bring much happiness, so good news was like drugs to him.
"Well, what's the good news?" Spike asked eager to know the news.
"Well, you have been improving greatly; you are almost the most skilled fighter in the legion. We are granting you, 12 months back in Ponyville, where you can meet back up with your friends. Here take this card, show it to the guards by the doors, and you can take a ride to Ponyville. Keep training whenever you can. Have a good time." Gray Mane said
"Oh thanks! I can't wait to see my friends again!" Spike said, he hurried off and got on his white shirt, and green pants. As the formal wear when they left the training camp. He packed changes of cloths, put his sword in his sheathe, attached it to his brown belt. Just for protection, and for looks. He felt like he had to prove something, I am a much tougher dragon now. He walked towards the doors, showed the two guards his card; they nodded and let him out. He found a carriage and paid the driver to take him to Ponyville. At last, he was on his way home.
A:N I know that some people don't like me switching the story up. It is part Spilight, but most of it will get more action packed and sexual in the future. Every day, one new chapter.
